Re: sax players

Great Post Pete!

Hit the nail on the head.

Our sound guy mics everyone...we have had countless disputes. He mics us all and shuts the trumpet and bone mics off except for solos (which he often misses)

The result is just to be heard (by ourselves) we are working WAY to hard some nights.

A close friend of mine has been the Basie lead trumpet player for 20 years, you're right....THAT band plays with dynamics. All should listen to it sometime.
